seems to me lebron is carrying this team every bit as much as he carried cleveland 15 years ago. AD is a better player than any teammate he had back then but if i just feel like if it were AD's team they'd already have been knocked out, or maybe not even made the bubble.
100% agree.
this team is pretty bad.. AD is legit, but without LEBRON he probably wouldn't get them to the playoffs.
meanwhile, LEBRON prior to getting hurt last year, had an even worse team in the playoff race.
compared to the clippers.. this Lakers team is awful. but if they end up matching up, as long as LEBRON is in it, it'll be a series.
he's just missing something that lebron and very few other players have. that ability to just decide to take over, and then do it, on both O and D. who else in the NBA has that gear right now? maybe kawhi?
kawhi and lebron definitely.
when durant is back, i'd add him into that mix.
